Zach Bigalke: Welcome back to another edition of the Tailgater here at Breaking Tackles. I’ll be piloting this week’s panel, joined as always by Matt Strobl and John Mitchell. Every team has at least four games under their belt at this point, and as we near the midpoint of the season things are starting to come into focus across the college football. Some teams are better than we expected; some teams are worse. But while we can plot and predict... Read More

The weekly Power Rankings have expanded this week to include teams that probably have absolutely no chance at the BCS… but definitely include some that should, even with a loss. Just fifteen undefeated teams remain out of the ten dozen that comprise the top division of college football, and with that number due to dwindle throughout the season as conference battles take their toll it isn’t unthinkable that we have a season like 2007 where...

After four weeks, the Heisman race remain wide open with many candidates still waiting in the wings to make their case on a national stage. We’ve weeded out some of the contenders from the pretenders, but there are still some pretenders out there and some contenders have yet to emerge from the pack.
We saw a player that fell off the pace earlier in the season emerge back into the Heisman conversation with an excellent weekend performance. We saw... Read More

We came into Week 4 last season much like we did this year, with a half-dozen non-AQ schools still alive in the BCS hunt and hoping to enter conference play without any black marks against them. We emerge out of Week 4 this year with half the teams that survived into the second trimester of the season in 2010.
Some of these losses we expected, given the step up in competition that several of the remaining six were taking. Last year Fresno State and... Read More

John Mitchell: College football season is moving quickly, and it’s hard to believe we are already in week four of the season. Zach Bigalke and Matt Strobl will join me to break down the week four action. A lot of teams are starting to get into conference play this week, while other teams continue their out of conference tune-ups. Speaking of conferences, it was another crazy week on the conference realignment front. The biggest news was the Pac-12... Read More
